The cheap ones make everything louder, even background noise like the wind going passed your car as you drive down the roads and some of them whistle when you put a phone up to your ear. Mine don't fall out. I don't even feel them. I forget they are there and climb into bed or get in the shower with them in my ear. That is my fault, not the hearing aids.
